Here’s what you need to know before you go.

Since its opening in 1995, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum has established itself as the preeminent home for the celebration and study of rock and roll music.  Our exhibits, educational programs and performance events have made the Museum a mecca for fans, scholars and the artists themselves.  In fact, our research shows that the Museum is the most popular and best-attended hall of fame in the country.

We invite you to come to Cleveland to journey through the past, present and future of rock and roll.
